        That's correct.  Note, however, that you still need
-DEXP_CHARTRANS_AUTOSWITCH for the automatic switching of character
sets on linux, because if it's not a personal linux system you don't
know if the terminal has the relevant capability, and I don't know
how to check for that.  Also, you still need -DSLANG_MBCS_HACK for
the utf-8 support with slang, because I don't know if John is going
to deal with that within the slang library (or perhaps has, since I
don't have the latest version).  Both should eventually become
configuration, rather than just compilation, variables.
